Summary of Research Project:

The Genetic Basis of PH - Studies in Genetically Modified Mice

We have been studying the functional role of BMP type II receptor (BMPR2) using the genetically modified mice of BMPR2. Our goal is to generate the mouse model of primary pulmonary hypertension, and to investigate the molecular mechanism to understand the pathogenesis of the pulmonary hypertension.
